\ Mr. Town of Boston was in this city
yesterday and gave another remarkable in
stance of how trivial circumstance saved
him, in all probability, from death in the
Hartford accident. He was on the ill
fated train and when he reached White
River Junction following an impulse he
stepped from the train and went into the
depot. He noticed a letter stuck in the
frame of "A mirror rand casually reading the
address found that 1t was addressed to
himself. Upon opening ii he found it TO
be from his Chelsea friend who had taken
this means to possibly notify him that he
was not AZ home. Nh Town thereupon
stopped at the Junction for the remainder
of the night and thus escaped in all prob
ability fearful death.

NOTES OF the DISASTER.

The officials of the Central Vermont
road deny that they have taken secret or
premature measures to affect settlement
or compromise with the injured survivors
concerning damages, In accordance with

and the town of Hartford should co oper-
ate in the management of the morgue,
the selectmen have appointed Charles b.

LOCAL POLITICS.

When asked if he considered that the
power of Tamassasi, the rebel chief, was
waning, Mr.. Webb replied that, on the
contrary, so far as he had been able to
judge Tamassasi's following had latterly
been consolidated. His new flag had
been hoisted in Atua, which was at one
time supposed to have seeded from
him, and it is significant fact that Ma
lietoa's principal chiefs have avowed
themselves as being afraid to risk the
issue of an election by the chiefs to de-
termine who should be King OF Samoa.
GERMAN MONEY,
Said they, would carry the day. But,
Notwithstanding this. Malietoa is the
only man whose descentsentitles him to
the throne of Samoa. It is, however,
his wish and that of his people to hand
over the Kingdom to the British, and
this has so exasperated the Germans
that whatever befalls Samoa they will
never rest until they have caused him
to be superseded. The interest evinced
bv them will be readily understood
when it is known that the German firm,
with which it is currently reported some
influential mobiles in the Fatherland are
identified, has considerable possessions
in the islands in the shape of coffee.
cotton and COcOanut plantations. 1t is
therefore not surprising that German
influence should be exerted more ener-

WHAT THEY THINK OF CHINAMEN.
An exaggerated rumor had reached
Apia to the effect that a vessel was
about to proceed thither with some 800
Cinnamon. (The actual number which
the Lillian took the other day was six
teen) As matter of fact there is a
law in force in Samoa which absolutely
prohibits Chinese immigration More
over this statute has the unanimous
support of the public sentiment of all
nationalities, including German. There
are no two opinions about the Chinese
question, and Mr. Webb has no doubt

prevent their landing. a few stragglers
have during the last three or four years
been left behind by various vessels, and
no steps have been taken in regard to
them, but anything like an organized
attempt to promote an influx of Chinese
will certainly be resisted by the white
population.
THE HAWAIIAN MISSION.
King Malietoa and the principal chiefs
express themselves deeply disappointed
at the withdrawal of the Hawaiian mis-
sion.
"Why are they 80 strongly in favor of
it?'' asked our reporter.
"They are in favor anything by which
they can steer clear of the Germans"
replied Mr.. Webb. The Hawaiian En-
bassy has twice saved the country from
civil war by the influence its members
have exerted over the native mind. One
OF these instances was mentioned in the
interview with Mr.. Strong published in
the ADVERTISER on the Sd instant. Its

Formed the first subject OF interrogation.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Strong
stated upon his return by the last mail
steamer that she had left Apia upon
cruise, with Mr.. J. f. Bush on board,
and nothing definite was known of her.
1t is, therefore, satisfactory to learn that
the Kaimiloa again made the port of
APia the day following his departure.
Mr.. Bush, however, had remained be-
hind at Afega, the place of residence of
King Malietoa, from whence he returned
to Apia shortly afterwards. He an

No INTENTION OF RETURNING
To Honolulu at present. After delays
arising from various circumstances the
Kaimiloa left Apia upon her homeward
voyage on the Sth instant 9th, Honolulu
time), subsequently making PagOpago
Bay Tutuila, one of the Samoan Islands,
from which place she was to sail for HO-
nolulu on the 10Th instant. If strong
trades are encountered she need not be
expected here before the end OF SepteIn-
Der. Whether or not the Kaimiloa
started on time could not be ascertained
as when Messrs. Webb and Poor arrived
at Tutuila ia the local cutter TO meet the
mail steamer they were compelled to
lay off and on all night at the western
point of the island, while the course
which the Kaimiloa would take would be
off the easterly point. Ii the vessel got
under way when expected, she would
get a good start, as the weather was very
fine. While the cutter was waiting for
the mail steamer in Leone Bay the Ger
man man-of-war Garcia arrived in order
to leave the mails from
THE GERMAN SQUADRON,
Which had suddenly left Sydney the
early part OF the month, circumstance
which led TO an impression gaining
ground in the Colonies that the Admiral
had received secret instructions from
Berlin to raise the German flag in Sa-
moa. Such an idea is entirely in accord
with the German residents of Apia, who
have for some months past been declar-
ing that whatever the conference at
Washington might do, Germany would
forestall its action by

BY CABLE FROM BERLIN,
Based probably upon events that have
taken place in connection with the
Washington Conference, and that the
move is being made by Germany in con-
cert with England. What lends color to
the opinion that Admiral Heusner is
acting under orders from the Fatherland
is the fact that it was the intention of
the Admiral to wait here until the ar
rival of Captain Straunch, who had been
appointed to take the place of the late
Captain of the Olga, who died few
weeks ago as his vessel was entering

viewed the evidence, according to
which the cartridges were landed on
Tuesday, May srst, and the rifles on
Friday, June 3rd. Markham delivered
the goods to the Marshal on the ard
inst. Cleghorn gave instructions to
the officers, to report suspected goods,
on May 27th, therefore the letters from

he would have been within the statute
He quoted section SIS, Compiled

shall have the power to order one or
more packages, out Of every invoice Of

be designated by him, to be sent to the

and any master, owner, i'm

would be in order to sue out a writ OF
